IT_QuickTrend

This draw tool is like the standard NinjaTrader ruler tool but also shows the angle. Just click the toolbar button or use the hot key combo, click your start point, then your end point. Click the end point and drag to a new position if desired. For more information on how to use the draw tools please watch the SpeedLines or GannBox video.

1/22/19 - Minor improvements to the AutoScale and AutoOffset.

3/11/16 - Modified the TickAdjuster to be more accurate in Auto mode.

12/24/15 - Removed the Restore Data section in Parameters to save space.

6/24/15 - Reworked the quick setting button, allowed drawing in all directions, enabled cumulative volume on P&F charts.

6/23/15 - Added the auto box offset feature and the button quick settings menu.

3/10/15 - Updated to work with SodyPointAndFigure charts.

2/18/15 - Modified the indicator to work on non-equidistant bars. Accuracy is retained.

12/8/14 - Reworked tool to get rid of the little object selector squares place by NinjaTrader on an object that is selected for re-dragging and redrawing.

8/27/14 - Replaced the P&F Adjust option in the QuickTrend with a Tick Adjuster drop down. The options in this parameter are:

• Auto - Auto detect P&F as well as large time frame bars and adjust automatically.
• Off (1x) - No adjustment and 1 tick = 1 tick or vertical unit.
• 10x - Ten ticks = one vertical unit, useful on Daily charts.
• 100x - One hundred ticks = one vertical unit. Useful on Weekly charts.
• 1000x - One thousand ticks = one vertical unit. Useful on Monthly charts.

The angle displayed with this option in use will be labeled SimAngle.

5/23/14 - Small bug fixed, cross hair not immediately removed when cancelling with Del key.

11/22/13 - Added a 'Large Text' option for those of us with tired eyes.

11/20/13 - Fine tuned the box placement while searching for 2nd anchor with snapping off.

11/18/13 - Added a vertical value in dollars option.

11/16/13 - Added settings to turn off bar hi/lo snapping for the first anchor and/or the second anchor point.

9/5/13 - Added a Point and Figure Adjust setting. With this setting set to true (default) the IT_QuickTrend tool will calculate the angles and vertical range based on the number of boxes instead of ticks when on a P&F chart. Setting to false will revert the calculations to using the actual tick range.

8/14/13 - Bug fix. Dragging the second anchor point after the initial draw could fail unless the chart was refreshed. Now you can draw and immediately drag.

8/2/13 - Added option to show the cumulative volume of all the bars included between anchors.

7/18/13 - Made the connecting line between the trend line and data box more sensitive to dragging and also enabled the data box to be drag able.
